Rotator Cuff Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries are common in sports that involve repetitive overhead motions, such as baseball, tennis, volleyball, and swimming. These injuries can range from inflammation (tendinitis) to partial or complete tendon tears, often causing shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and reduced strength. Early rehab is key to restoring function and avoiding long-term issues.
Rotator Cuff Injuries (Tendinitis, Tears)
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Repetitive overhead activity in sports or training
- Sudden forceful movements or falls
- Weak shoulder or upper back muscles
- Poor throwing or lifting mechanics
- History of shoulder strain or impingement
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Delaying treatment can lead to ongoing shoulder pain, loss of motion, reduced strength, and impaired performance. In some cases, the condition may worsen and require surgical intervention.
